The So-Called Dao
Shi Changgeng explained everything to Yun Qing on the phone, and then Yun Qing realized that this matter was indeed a bit troublesome.
When Yunqing and Xia Tian were arguing in the hotel, Meng Jincai was also working on Bashan. However, perhaps because he saw that Meng Jincai attached great importance to him, Bashan became more arrogant. Even though Meng Jincai said all the good things, Bashan still asked Xia Tian and Yunqing to apologize in person. That would have been fine, but Bashan also said that he would decide whether to forgive them based on the sincerity of their apology.
Bashan even said that if the Muyang County government could not do this, he would leave immediately. He also claimed that he would go out and publicize that the public security in Muyang County was extremely poor and people would not invest here. He also said that he could notify all domestic directors to ban Muyang County and no one would come here to shoot promotional films.
Although these words might be a bit exaggerated, the fact is that Meng Jincai was really scared. If the matter really became that serious, he would definitely not be able to report to his superiors.
In desperation, Meng Jincai had to look for Shi Changgeng again, hoping that Shi Changgeng could come up with a solution. When Yun Qing called Shi Changgeng, Shi Changgeng was having trouble with this matter.
"Uncle Shi, didn't you sign a contract with Bashan to shoot the promotional video?" Yun Qing couldn't help but ask.
"I asked, but they haven't signed yet." Shi Changgeng was a little helpless. "They said we'll sign it when we get here, but now it looks like they won't sign it. But I'm a little suspicious. Maybe Bashan did it on purpose to get more money."
"Uncle Shi, I don't think you need to be afraid of this person. There are a lot of directors nowadays. I haven't heard of this Bashan either. He doesn't seem to be a famous director." Yun Qing thought for a while and said, "Even if he really doesn't want to do it, the worst that can happen is that we can just find another director."
"This is the only way." Shi Changgeng was a little helpless.
"Uncle Shi, I'm sorry. Actually, it's not a big problem for me to go and apologize to that person, but Xia Tian will definitely not agree to go." Yun Qing said apologetically. Although she didn't know Xia Tian very well, she knew that this guy would definitely not apologize to others. If he really asked him to apologize, he might go and beat up Bashan again.
At this moment, Xia Tian spoke up: "Sister Yunqing, I am actually willing to apologize."
"Ah?" Yun Qing was stunned and turned to look at Xia Tian, "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true." Xia Tian said seriously, "Sister Yunqing, when have you ever lied to me?"
Yun Qing looked at Xia Tian, and couldn't tell whether this guy was telling the truth or lying.
"Sister Yunqing, let's go find Bashan and apologize now." Xia Tian looked very anxious.
"When did you change your personality?" Yun Qing was a little confused.
"Sister Yunqing, I didn't change my surname. My surname has always been Xia." Xia Tian said with a smile.
Yun Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. After a little thought, she nodded: "Okay, I'll believe you this time."
The restaurant on the first floor of Dongsheng Hotel.
Meng Jincai was hosting a banquet to entertain Bashan and a group of people from the provincial TV station. Of course, Yang Shan and Yue Yang were also among those being entertained.
Yang Yujuan toasted Bashan frequently. Yang Yujuan was good-looking and was quite good at acting coquettishly, which made Bashan quite happy and he drank a lot of wine.
But this guy was obviously a big drinker and never got drunk. Instead, Yang Yujuan's cheeks were flushed and she was about to collapse.
"Yang Shan, when are we going to Qingfeng Mountain?" Yue Yang was obviously not very fond of this kind of occasion. She pulled Yang Shan and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know either." Yang Shan didn't understand it at all.
"Or, why don't you ask your cousin?" Yue Yang pointed at Yang Yujuan who was almost drunk.
Yang Shan hesitated for a moment: "She seems drunk, why don't we ask her later?"
"She will be really drunk soon." Yue Yang curled his lips, "Forget it, I'll ask for you, just ask County Magistrate Meng directly."
Yue Yang was impatient, so he immediately turned to look at Meng Jincai and asked, "County Magistrate Meng, when are we going to shoot the promotional video? Yang Shan and I have asked for leave and can't keep wasting time, but we came here yesterday and are still here today. When are we going to Qingfeng Mountain?"
"Classmate Yue Yang, it's like this. We plan to take a rest today and set off tomorrow. Don't worry, it won't take too long." Meng Jincai explained quickly.
"Can you definitely go tomorrow?" Yue Yang asked a little worriedly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely go." Meng Jincai promised solemnly.
But at this moment, Bashan said in a gloomy tone: "County Magistrate Meng, it's okay for you to go tomorrow, but I may not be able to go tomorrow."
Meng Jincai was a little embarrassed and annoyed. Isn't he just a director? Is it necessary to be so arrogant? He is also the deputy county magistrate after all. He should be given some face, right?
Although Meng Jincai was angry, he still held back his anger. Yue Yang asked in confusion, "Why? You are the director. If you don't go, what's the point of us going? We still can't shoot, right?"
"My safety in the hotel cannot be guaranteed. If I go to a remote place like that, it will be even harder to say. I don't want to lose my life in the mountains." Bashan snorted. He was also very dissatisfied with Meng Jincai. The deputy county magistrate kept saying that he would immediately deal with the boy who beat him, but he hasn't given him an explanation until now, which made him feel perfunctory.
"Don't worry, your life will not be lost in that mountain, you idiot. You will never go in there." A lazy voice suddenly came.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man and a woman walking over. They were Xia Tian and Yun Qing.
"What did you say?" Bashan was furious. He stood up suddenly and glared at Xia Tian.
Meng Jincai secretly thought that this was not good. It seemed that the conflict between the two could not be reconciled this time.
Yun Qing was also stunned at this moment. She quickly pinched Xia Tian and asked anxiously, "Hey, didn't you say you came to apologize to him?"
"Yes, I'm here to apologize!" Xia Tian said seriously, then waved to Bashan, "Hey, come out, I want to apologize to you!"
"Do you know you have to apologize to me now?" Bashan sneered and walked towards Xia Tian, "But it's too late. Even if you apologize, I won't forgive you... Ugh!"
Bashan screamed, flew backwards, hit the wall heavily, then slid to the ground, groaned in pain, and wanted to get up, but he couldn't do it.
Everyone was stunned, but Xia Tian clapped his hands nonchalantly: "Idiot, the so-called apology is just to tell you that you deserve a beating!"
Yun Qing was speechless. It turned out that it was not an apology, but an apology!
